Chapter 153: Lin Fan's Answer
When Lin Fan got back to Gui An village, the villagers jumped with joy.
"He is back."
"Thank the heavens he is unharmed."
"Come, let's get the feast started for our saviors."
They swarmed and pulled Lin Fan to a fire pit lit up brightly in front of the village head's house.
On top of the fire was a lamb, with its skin roasted to a crisp golden color.
And whenever the oil from the fats dripped onto the fire, it made the fire burn much brighter.
Ho Ming and Zhang Xi were already enjoying the roasted lamb when Lin Fan joined in.
"The Yi Tribe's village head has been taken care of.
"They won't be finding trouble with you for a very long time," Lin Fan said when he saw Old Heng approaching.
Old Heng was surprised it was done so quickly.
He bowed and said, "That's great news! Thank you so much. Do eat more and enjoy the feast."
Lin Fan nodded and tucked into the lamb meat placed in front of him.
Villagers then came up to them and offered them drinks one by one.
Ho Ming, with all the practice he had from Ho Fu, stood up and drank with them.
The feast lasted a few hours.
When it was over, they took turns staying on guard while the others slept.
Making sure it was safe.
This mission had let Lin Fan recognize the fact that there were still good people within the Quan Dynasty.
Not all of them were rotten and corrupt to the core.
People that were good to him like Uncle Liu and Ho Fu came to his mind.
And right now, though, it wasn't looking great for them.
The very next day, they left and went on their way back to Qing Feng Sect.
Much to the disappointment of the villagers.
Who were trying to make them stay, letting them show their gratitude.
…
Qing Feng Sect.
Mission Hall.
"Ho Ming, get your father to toughen up the village's security, things are going to get worse."
Lin Fan said as they walked over to the counter.
He better get Ho Fu to prepare for what's coming.
The letter that small eyes had on him was from Tan Xiao Yao, asking him to sow discord and create havoc in Quan Dynasty.
Others that are working for Tan Xiao Yao must have gotten it too.
"I will do so tomorrow," Ho Ming replied. He was also concerned about the safety of his father.
After getting the reward from the disciple at the counter, Lin Fan went on to pass the letter he retrieved to the sect master.
The disciples guarding the Million Sword Hall wanted to stop him, but Lin Fan as core disciple of Zhang Yi Nian was now able to do so.
His change of status had brought him many more privileges than before.
"Well done," Qing Yang Zi said as he read the letter Lin Fan had passed to him.
Qing Yang Zi expected Tan Xiao Yao to create trouble, but not in such an open way.
Tan Xiao Yao was one step ahead of them, killing two birds with one stone.
First, with Tan Xiao Yao's instigation, the Quan Dynasty would become chaotic, paving the way for him to take over. Discover more stories at My Virtual Library Empire
And with the Emperor putting the responsibility of dealing with him on the sects, Tan Xiao Yao openly doing so will make the sects feel that they are being used by the Emperor, as things get more difficult.
The sects might just join Tan Xiao Yao instead, once they had enough of the Emperor.
Tan Xiao Yao is such a cunning old fox, Qing Yang Zi thought.
The next moment, he looked up at Lin Fan and asked, "Lin Fan, what do you think will be best for Qing Feng Sect?"
Lin Fan slapped the back of his head and said, "I wouldn't know, sect master. I'm pretty new in the sect."
Qing Yang Zi frowned and stroked his beard at his response and said, "Hmm... You are right, I'm asking too much from you. Be on your way then."
"Yes, sect master." Lin Fan bowed and left the Million Sword Hall.
Lin Fan had an answer, but it was not to be spoken out loud.
The only thing that was best for him to do now was to get stronger and become sect master one day.
That's when his own destiny could be in his own hands.
…
Back at the wooden hut, Lin Fan took out the bracelets from Ning Na.
He wanted to continue his cultivation of the Devouring Qi to Poison Transformation Technique.
Now that he was at a higher level, he could take in more poisonous creatures in one go.
With the poisonous creatures in his body and his Qi extracting the poison out of them.
He used his Qi to direct them into his poison glands.
Filling them up with more and more poison in them.
With more Qi he had now, the poison glands had also gotten larger.
Enabling him to store more of the poison.
Lin Fan was very sure this technique would come in very handy next time, when they would have to face up to Tan Xiao Yao's army.
Their armor with scriptures might be an obstacle for the sects, he thought.
Soon, Lin Fan used up the poisonous creatures in the bracelets.
He would have to capture some more if he wanted to continue.
Lin Fan looked out of the window, wondering if there were poisonous creatures in the woods outside.
He could also earn more vengeance points to upgrade his beast abilities.
But first he had something much more important to do.
He summoned the system's information panel in his mind.
[Current Beast Ability: 3/3]
[Wild Rabbit Abilities Level: 2/3]
[Wolf Ability Level: 2/3]
[Earth Breaker Salamander Ability Level: 2/3]
[Current Physique Level: 5 (1600 Vengeance Points to upgrade)]
[Current Vengeance Points: 1760]
[Upgrade Physiques: Y/N]
Looking at the vengeance points that he had, it was time to upgrade his physique level.
Lin Fan thought silently to himself, upgrade physique level.
